Thank you! Just saw the movie and told my friends to stay til the end of credits. Everybody in theatres left and my friends wanted to go, but I remember what you wrote and ended up staying by myself LOL...worth the interesting final ending.

Return of the Jedi Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

Not necessarily the best films of all time, but I am very fond of them.

ROTK needs a mention. Obviously BTTF 3 is pretty good, but not quite in the same league as the others. Matrix Revolutions was a let down after the first two. Someone already mentioned Lady V, which is a great end to the vengeance trilogy.

It would have been easier if you'd said second film in a series, cause the second act is usually the most interesting. Same thing kinda applies to film in a very loose sort of way:

Franchise wrote: I like Season. Seems that 3's in horror movies are the weakest entries except for F13 and Halloween. I am a staunch supporter of Halloween III: Season of the Witch myself. Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors was another good second sequel.

Rocky III (this is still one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures) Die Hard with a Vengeance Return of the Jedi/Return of the King

Honorable Mentions: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Dracula, Prince of Darkness The Evil of Frankenstein Ginger Snaps Back Indiana Jones and the Last Crucade Lethal Weapon 3 Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror Day of the Dead Revenge of the Sith Another Thin Man Austin Powers in Goldmember

Confusing title but all I am asking is... what are your top three films that were released as the third in a series? It doesn't matter if they are prequels, sequels, tv movies or a closely linked series of movies, just so long as it was the third film released by date.

Just to give examples: Alien 3, Ring 0, Three Colours: Red, I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. You cannot include remakes (unless they are a series of remakes), mini-series or any TV series in general. Basically movies only.
